The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Ice Rink officially opened for the season on Sunday. It's one of the sure signs of the winter season is officially here.

You may remember the rink being called the Manhattan Square Park Ice Rink. It was re-named earlier this year.

News10NBC spoke to skaters who came out and braved the cold weather Sunday afternoon.

"I think it's great to do anything outdoors in Rochester in the winter. It's a way to get through it. We also like to cross country ski, and it just helps you get through the winter," said Ruth Kramer, who lives in Brighton.
